I’ve known David Kammet for many years, and when it came time to sell my business, there was no one else I trusted more to represent me. David handled every aspect of the sale with professionalism, integrity, and genuine care. He communicated clearly, navigated complex situations with ease, and always kept my best interests at the forefront. His experience and calm, steady approach made the entire process smooth and successful. I couldn’t have asked for a better broker or partner throughout the transaction, and I would highly recommend David to anyone considering buying or selling a business.

Working with Amerivest Group was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, patient, and genuinely interested in helping me succeed. Their expert advice and deep understanding of the E2 visa process made all the difference in finding the right business to purchase in the U.S. I always felt supported and well-informed throughout the entire journey. Thanks to their guidance, I’m now a proud business owner and living my dream in the United States. I highly recommend them to anyone considering this path!

We have worked with Alberto Salazar for some time now with both the purchase and sale of several businesses. We could not be more satisfied with his advice and professionalism. He first helped us purchase our first business, which was a gas station in Delray Beach, Florida. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and communicated frequently and thoroughly, which is extremely important in keeping us on track with the purchase which ran smoothly. Since then, he has been our agent with several other gas station purchases and sales. I highly recommend TRUE for any of your commercial real estate or business needs!

He had 3 buyers within less than 2 weeks. All was sold and settled in less than 3 months. Money in the bank, happy customers on both sides and best of all, David is very pleasant and likeable besides knowing his business. Any of my needs or questions were answered quickly without excuses. I think he did anything needed and quickly with good communication. I highly recommend David Kammet.

Selling your business is not only difficult, it is very personal, David Kammet was able to calmly navigate the numbers, concepts, different personalities and bring me to a successful closing. From the moment I spoke with him on the phonel I felt reassured that he was the right person to entrust this huge task to. Throughout the months I worked with David, I found him to be trustworthy, diligent detailed and above all else a steady peacemaked to being all sides together.

I’ve worked with many brokers but Alberto Hallivis is clearly head and shoulders above the rest. He listened to me and executed as he said he would. His hard work and honesty provided me with the independent insurance agency I wanted. I highly recommend him to anyone that wants results. I look forward to working with Alberto on more acquisitions in the future.

I first met Alberto Hallivis when I called Amerivest to broker the sale of our company in the spring of 2015. We met for coffee and, what began as an interview of his potential to represent us, quickly transitioned to his appraising our goals, value and marketability. As in our relationship ever since, that day he assessed our business with frankness and clarity and partnered with us in the sale. Alberto is completely trustworthy and on more one occasion put our interests above his own. I consider him a business partner and a friend. I recommend him to any person wanting to market their company for sale, Alberto will guide and use the many tools at his disposal to see the venture thru to a happy conclusion.

I hired JM de los Rios with Amerivest Group to sell my food wholesale distribution business. I was skeptical when I first hired him because I had a bad experience with another business broker in Miami. That’s why it was important to me to find someone professional, with integrity and experience. I’m very happy to say that’s what I found with JM. He was very through, he collected all my documents and put them together so that a buyer could really understand what they were looking at. He advertised the business, as promised, with heavy marketing and produced a cash buyer in less than 2 months. Overall, the deal was very clean and fair on both sides. I felt confident that he had all collected documents necessary to protect me legally. I’m happy to say that this transaction went very well, I got a great price for my business and was able to move on without and ties to the business. I would recommend Amerivest Group to anyone considering selling their business.

I just wanted to say thank you for everything you did to sell my commercial janitorial business. When I first listed the business, I realize that I might not have been entirely ready to sell it, after owning it for 33 years, I had mixed feelings. You were patient with me until I came to terms that it really was time to sell it. I know what other similar businesses usually sell for in my industry and I can’t tell you how thrilled I am at the price that you sold for! I feel that you listened to concerns about selling the business and were able to overcome all the obstacles in the deal. I know the buyers were not easy to handle and several times it looked like it might all fall apart but you stuck with it and kept talking it out with them until they felt comfortable. Thank you again for all your efforts. You were honest and professional, and I would definitely refer you any business owner.

Thanks to Alberto’s services our family’s goals to become financially stable were met. His experience, patience and commitment facilitated our business sale in a speedy, efficient and professional manner.

I have known David Kammet for aproc. 12 years, first as a Supplier of Professional Services to my Dry Cleaning Business, later as an accomplished Licensed Business Broker, to currently a valued personal friend. David was instrumental in procuring the purchase of an additional Dry Cleaning Establishment, to later succeed in the Sale of said business, in the most professional and expedient manner. Many Business Brokers are eager to list your business, tellin gyou what you want to hear, that your business will fetch top dollar, to just get the listing, to then sit on th emarket for many years, due to artifically high business evaluations. David values a business correctly and it truthful reliable, honest, hardworking and will not waste your time. I founf David to be equally knowledgeable and beneficial when purchasing a business and when selling. David, having been a past small business owner, knows bth sides of the transaction, thus has personal experience in buying and selling his own business. Many brokers will tell you how to buy, run and sell a business. David speaks from experience doind it all, and the right way. I have engaged numerous business brokers throughout my small business ownerships and would rank David Kammet as number one in my book. Any broker can list your business. You need a broker that can Sell your business for the correct price, at a reasonable time frame. Look no further.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service I received from Renato Mariani with Amerivest Group! From our very first conversation to the successful closing of my business sale, every step of the process was handled with professionalism, integrity, and expertise. What truly sets him apart is a deep understanding of the market and a strategic approach to matching buyers and sellers. He took the time to understand my goals, thoroughly evaluated my business, and crafted a compelling listing that attracted serious, qualified buyers almost immediately. Throughout the process, communication was clear, timely, and reassuring. Renato kept me informed at every stage and offered honest, practical advice that ultimately led to a smooth and successful transaction. I always felt like a priority and knew I was in excellent hands. If you are considering selling your business and want a broker who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your success, look no further than Renato Mariani with Amerivest Group. They exceeded every expectation — and then some! I’m incredibly grateful for the outcome and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.

Through my time working with Alberto, I found him to be a knowledgeable business broker who invested the time to really understand our business and our goals. We received four formal offers over the first two months, and currently have a signed LOI at $2.95-$3.2 million approximately two weeks ago and have a backup offer at $2.7-$3 million.

I first engaged Amerivest Business Brokers to sell my Real Estate Agency. I found JM de los Rios to be extremely knowledgeable in understanding the market for small RE agencies. He treated me and potential buyers with respect throughout the process and handled the entire transaction with honesty and integrity. They responded very quickly to any questions I had, and I felt they had a high priority on communication. Thank you for the team effort in getting my business sold.

Amerivest Business Brokers and JM de los Rios were outstanding in selling our Travel Agency. He took his time to make sure we were fully informed before making the decision to sell our agency. He worked with our accountant to make sure all the financials were in order, and then he stayed in touch with us and kept us in the loop as the marketing progressed. We are so glad we retained JM because he is an excellent and accomplished negotiator as well as being totally knowledgeable and professional in all aspects of his business.

Alberto played a key role throughout the entire process of searching for, evaluating, selecting, and ultimately acquiring two stores through the service provided by Amerivest Group. His support was fundamental—not only helping us clearly understand each step’s implications but also establishing a structured process, identifying critical variables, and skillfully guiding the negotiation through to a successful closing. We felt thoroughly supported at every stage. Alberto’s clarity on the technical, legal, and strategic aspects of the transaction was instrumental in minimizing risk and ensuring a seamless handover of both stores. In our experience, Alberto added tremendous value, and we are sincerely grateful for his professionalism, commitment, and expertise. Thanks to his leadership, the acquisition of both stores was a complete success.

What a wonderful experience having you handle the sale of my business. You really cared, and you knew how badly I wanted the perfect person to have my “baby.” You got that person for me in record time and I felt secure that you knew exactly what to do and you did it! Thanks so much. What might have been a stressful situation was pure pleasure. What a professional!!

Alberto Salazar is to me a real strategic negotiator that demonstrated knowledge and professionalism in all the stages of the deal. He was a wise and patient partner and creative thinker when we needed it most. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for something rare to find – an honest and unbiased business broker.

It was very clear since our first meeting that Alberto was very knowledgeable and knew what he was doing. We weren’t the easiest clients to work with, but he was always very professional and very patient with us. He was always available to answer our questions and was very accommodating to our circumstances (different country and 7 hours difference). I can honestly say that he worked very hard and was always looking for opportunities that were favorable for us. The business Alberto found for us was perfect for us. It was something we would have overlooked, but he knew better than us what would work for us and now after months of owning the business I can only say “Thank You Alberto, you found the perfect business for us.” Another thing Alberto also took in consideration was the seller of the business, he knew we would have a good connection, something that made the negotiation and transition effortless and stress-free . I can’t recommend him enough. If you want somebody professional, efficient, and most importantly knowledgeable don’t look more, Alberto Salazar is the broker you need.

I write to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent work and professionalism you provided to us during what was a very stressful negotiation , especially on those occasions when I ended calling you more times than should be necessary. Never once did you not take my call or stated that you would have to call me back. Your attention to the details and staying in constant communication to give me ongoing updates went in my opinion above and beyond. Your reassurance when needed was particularly appreciated, leading to finally a successful conclusion yesterday. We start a new journey today and look forward to the opportunities it will present.
